❤️ My grandmother died 35 years ago today. 📘 I always said that if I ever wrote a book I'd dedicate it to her. 😊 So I'm pleased to have done that in my study of Margaret Thatcher's life after Downing Street. 🤔 Did we mention that #ThatcherAfterDowningStreet is out in July?

📺 Amazing for RCSLT to hear Developmental Language Disorder feature in this Sky News story. 😔 Frustrating too. 😊 For as we heard at @speechandlanguk.bsky.social's #SLCAlliance launch, we know what difference the right support can make. #DevLangDis #SEND news.sky.com/story/almost...

🎭 I once saw Dame Joan Plowright in a play in London. I was part of the audience sat on the stage. At the end, all the other actors left the stage without saying a word. Dame Joan turned to us and said, 'Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen'. A true star. RIP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🚆 No trains were running. 🚇 But the tube enabled us to make it through the cold, to paraphrase Mr Barry Manilow. 💡 And good to know there are so many records on speech and language therapy at The National Archives. 🔍 Subject for future research, perhaps?
